Labor Dabor Party

Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare to be amazed and astounded at:

THE 2010 STRONG BADIA THE FREE LABOR DABOR PARTY!

This year, I am in charge of the ceremonies by right of begging and giving Vader 5 bucks. I also got to be the guy who brings snacks.
Anyway, this year, we are celebrating our one-year anniversary along with Labor Day, since nobody really remembers what our actual anniversary date is. So here's what we have lined up for you:

-Awesomeness Contest (See below)
-Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament
-Labor Day Awards of Style

AWESOMENESS CONTEST:
Here's the deal. I thought about doing an essay contest, or some kind of writing thing. But then I thought, "Why not include movies, for MMM? Or theater? Or music?" So, it's an Awesomeness Contest.

Here's the deal, in essence: Make something about Strong Badia the Free, in honor of our one-year anniversary. It could be a movie about our grand history; a story about Switch; a Tubedubber about the Flame War between me and MMM; anything! It could even be...sigh...Roblox. The contest starts now; all entries are due a week before Labor Day (which is September 6, so the deadline is August 31.) I will be the judge and my word is LAW. (Or antidisestablishmentarianism, I like that one.)

Now, why would you like to participate in such a thing? I'm glad you asked. First prize is a book called:
THE BEST OF THE SBEMAIL GAME!

That's right! This very (un)professionally made book contains the best Sbemail Game entries, an awesome cover, an Introduction by me, fan art by Strong Vader (from A Decemberween Song), and a million dollars tucked between the pages! (Million dollars not included.)

And it's all absolutely free...if you win the contest.

So get to work!

Note: this topic is the place to upload your entries for the contest. It's also the place where we'll have the party on Labor Day (what-you thought I'd forget the party?)

Time to get my four-mallet train a rollin

And we were founded August 6th, 2009

Seriously? Okay, then. Happy coughiversary, everybloody!

Oh snap, today's the sixth? Yeah guys, happy birfday. 1 years old, eh?

Yay birfday!

That's the whole reason I made the big (it took me an hour to type all this crap out) announcement today-it's exactly one month away from Labor Day, which is SEPTEMBER sixth.
So get to work people!

MARATHON TOURNAMENT??????

Um, nobody but you plays that Disk. You can have a one-man Marathon Tournament if you's want.

guuuuys

it's free and I can host netplay all you really need internet. Which I bet you guys have.

Is it LEGALLY free?

Yeah Bungie released it along with the source code.

Disk an a**load of months ago wrote:If you were considering Uzi's post about Doom earlier, you'll like Marathon.
Especially since it is now FREE.
Bungie, the company who made it, has officially STOPPED SELLING IT.
So open source downloading is COMPLETELY LEGAL. The proof is simple enough, the link is FROM BUNGIE.
Here is a link to the website, Just download a scenario, and the interpreter, Aleph One, for your respective computer system.
http://source.bungie.org/get/
To install, just place AlephOne.exe in the scenario folder. and run Aleph one.
Marathon 1, 2, and infinity are ALL available for download. Also, if your compy has OpenGL, I suggest getting an add-on like HI-RES WEAPONS or HIGH-RES TEXTURES. If it doesn't be sure to change the graphics system to SOFTWARE in Game Preferences, accessible from the main menu. YOU CANNOT PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT OPENGL UNLESS YOU CHANGE THIS.
If you want to try the Multiplayer, get Marathon Infinity, but single players should download Marathon 1.
This game was REVOLUTIONARY for it's time for having an actual STORY! Unlike other era games like DOOM whose story was "You are a nameless Space Marine, kill some demons." This game has a story filled with ALIENS, MYSTERY, A.I, ROBOTS, PLANETS, MYTHS, AND SPACESHIPS!
IMPORTANT: The controls are really messed up, so before playing, switch the controls to your liking, such as arrows or WASD.
Mouse look is offered, but optional, you can opt to use the arrows as looking left, right, up, and down.
You know, with all this FREE advertising I do for these Video James companies, you'd think I could get one fat juicy cut of some PROFIT.

Where?

Merci.

I might try it today. MIGHT, mind you. But since I don't have anything better to do...

An AWESOMENESS CONTEST? Oh, that's certainly enough to bring me out of one-week forum retiremental state. You're all going down in flamity-flames.

I'd like to add something else to the table of Labor Daybor Party expectations. I, creator of BLemails, am working on a new project. It's not related to BLemails, or even Homestar, but if you like BLemails, you'll most likely like this. If all goes according to plan, I'll have a teaser of some sort ready for the Labor Day festivities.

So, wait. Is that gonna be your entry for the Awesomeness Contest, or is that just some weird thing you're working on because you have too much free time on your hands?

Naw, this is separate from my Awesomeness entry.

Okay, fair enough. Just as long as you enter SOMETHING I'm happy.

I'm definitely gonna enter something. The other project I'm hoping to announce for Labor Dabor is a series, not a single entry. Also, I'm going to shut up now before I reveal too much about it.

Movement 3 = Done

question: When making a music thing, do we need the sheet music or a recording or both?

I'm working on an entry as we speak.
